“…In today's educational landscape, ER scenarios are promising trends and can be integrated into many academic disciplines, such as healthcare [7][8][9], STEM subjects [10], computer science [11], chemical engineering [12], pharmacy [13], physics [14], mathematics [15], radiology [16], biology [17] and many others. The protagonists of EERs are usually secondary or higher education students, tutors, professionals, designers, and researchers.…”

Digital Escape Rooms as Innovative Pedagogical Tools in Education: A Systematic Literature Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims to present a systematic literature review on state-of-the-art Educational Escape Rooms (EERs) with the use of digital technologies. More specifically, the focus of the study is to present the current developments and trends concerning Digital Educational Escape Rooms (DEERs) and investigate how they foster learning outcomes for online learners. Additionally, the present study provides insights into the design process of such technology enhanced EERs. This review is attributed to identifying and covering research gaps since the current literature has focused on the pedagogical aspects of Escape Rooms (ERs) in education, but no studies seem to have been conducted in regard to the pedagogical implications of Digital Escape Rooms (DERs) in educational environments. Based on the exhaustive literature review, an agenda for future research is promised and the implications for designing innovative ER approaches have been highlighted. The anatomy of the fundamental components of conducting systematic literature reviews was followed. The results of the review could be addressed to multidisciplinary teams related to education, game researchers, educational researchers, faculty members, scholars, instructors, and protagonists of educational systems to encourage them to thoroughly study the core elements of DEERs and how they can be applied in virtual educational contexts to facilitate students’ learning achievements.

“…16 In an escape room, perioperative team members will solve problems, earn clues, and progress through the activity as clinical decisions are made and hands-on skills are demonstrated. 16 Potential locations to hold an escape room include a vacant hospital room, simulation laboratory, or conference room. In a room of errors, perioperative team members assess the environment of a familiar room, such as an OR, and identify unsafe elements or areas of concern.…”

Ongoing nursing education is vital for keeping nurses’ knowledge and skills current and promoting positive patient outcomes. Providing meaningful, quality nursing education in the perioperative setting requires the development and implementation of innovative and effective teaching strategies. Adult learning theory is complex, and it can be challenging to engage multigenerational perioperative staff members in education—often, a variety of creative teaching modalities are required to bridge the gaps among learning styles. This article reviews the use of experiential learning, various kinesthetic activities, advanced technology, microlearning, and other methods that may be helpful to overcome the challenges of providing education to adult learners in the perioperative setting. Educators should promote critical thinking and student engagement to encourage adult learners to be active participants in their continuing education.

“…The literature supports gamification of learning as learner-led reinforcement of knowledge that promotes engagement and application of previous experiences (Billings & Halstead, 2016). Furthermore, escape rooms in the educational setting can help learners develop communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills (Hawkins et al, 2020). Although several articles were identified describing the relatively recent use of escape rooms in a variety of healthcare specialties, the team lead was unable to locate any literature related to escape rooms for C-section education.…”

“…Escape rooms support interaction, build on previous experiences, and can allow learners to follow a sequential process to "escape" the room. Hawkins et al (2020) outlined the process of using escape rooms for healthcare education as determining the problem, creating the objectives, gathering information, planning the game, preparing the participants, piloting the simulation, debriefing the learners, and evaluating the impact. Of the objectives created for the program's C-section skills day as a whole, the objective "after a 4-hour C-section skills class, nurses will be able to solve a C-section escape room by using teamwork to progress through a C-section procedure as a circulating nurse" was developed specifically for this activity.…”

This article describes the development and implementation of an escape room concept applied to cesarean section surgery education for one health system’s perinatal nurse residency program. The escape room allows for small-group, interactive learning that fosters collaboration and critical thinking. The rise in popularity of gamification in learning and lack of literature about cesarean section escape rooms presented the opportunity for a novel method of learning for perinatal nurses.
